The OLED monitor market is growing rapidly, and manufacturers are competing to deliver better and brighter screens. According to information revealed by FlatpanelsHD, LG Display is preparing to introduce a new Primary RGB Tandem technology for computer monitors. First announced in January this year at the CES exhibition, it is now set to reach PC users' desks.
New 27-inch OLED – more brightness, better colours
The first monitor equipped with this technology is set to be a 27-inch OLED with a resolution of 2560x1440. The biggest change compared to previous generations is expected to be a significant increase in brightness – according to LG Display, the new panel will achieve 1500 nits of peak brightness (1.5% window) and 335 nits in full screen.
But that's not all the new features. Primary RGB Tandem, otherwise known as the fourth generation OLED, increases the panel's efficiency by 20% and improves colour reproduction. Although exact parameters have not yet been disclosed, LG Display assures that the change will be noticeable. Furthermore, there are speculations that the new 27-inch OLED may be the first monitor with dual-mode capability, which would mean even greater flexibility in adjusting the image for different applications.

OLEDs in monitors becoming increasingly popular
OLED monitors still represent a small percentage of the market, but their sales are growing dynamically. Just a few years ago, this technology was mainly reserved for televisions and professional reference displays. Today, more and more users – both gamers and professionals – are opting for OLEDs due to their perfect black, instantaneous response time, and excellent colour reproduction. Manufacturers are noticing this. In recent years, 34-inch ultrawide OLEDs, 42-inch panels in televisions, and gaming models with high refresh rates have emerged.
When will we see the new panel?
Although LG Display has not officially announced a specific release date, it is known that the new panel is marked as a product for 2025. This means that before it goes on sale, it must be adopted by monitor manufacturers such as LG Electronic, Asus, Dell, and MSI, etc. However, LG Display has confirmed that the Primary RGB Tandem will also be used in larger gaming OLEDs, suggesting that in the coming years we can expect a true offensive of this technology in the monitor market.
Is this a breakthrough in the world of PC OLEDs? Everything points to yes. And we will be monitoring further reports.
